Answer: 6 hours
Step-by-step explanation: If you write an equation for this scenario it would be y = 12+3x. 12 is the starting value and x represents how many hours the bike is rented, therefore 3 dollars would be added to the initial 12 each hour. So if Lucy spent $30 then it would change to 30= 12+3x. Now you essentially just need to work backwards. Rearrange the equation and move 12 to the left of the equal sign to make 30-12=3x. Combine vairable to make 18=3x. Divide 3x by 3 to isolate x and divide 18 by 3 as well to make it even. This looks like 18/3=3x/3. Meaning it would end up as 6=x.
Then it has to be either quadratic or cubic, I'm leaning more towards quadratic though
Answer:
10
Step-by-step explanation:
For this you just have to plug 2 into a and 4 into b. You come to this expression:
3(2) + 4
This gives you 10
Hey!
Hope this helps...

To solve this, we will be doing a semi-alternate route, but it will get us to our answer...
400 / 100 = 4
30 / 4 = 7.5 seconds
60 * 60 * 7.5 = 27,000 meters per hour
<em></em><em>Lets plug it into our meters to miles formula...</em>
27,000 / 1,609.344 ~ 16.777 miles per hour
So...
The answer is: The Polar Express was going 27,000 meters per hour (or roughly close to 16.777 miles per hour)...
